Version Update? When?

With all the theme and plug-in description updates happening it some times gets a bit confusing as to whether the actual product itself has been updated. Could the developers not put a release date next to the version number? This would really be helpful as checking version numbers themselves each time you think there is an update gets a bit time consuming. :slight_smile:

The download page of any plugin/theme lists a new version date anytime a part of the whole package gets updated. That means even a change to documentation will cause a new date to be shown. I agree with you though - it's a bit confusing. If you don't see a new version number though, it's not a new version.

I know the devs are also finishing up some major modifications to the Update Notifications plugin so that you can quickly and easily check for new versions right from inside wp-admin. This'll really help keep everyone informed.

Truth is, I dunno! Maybe Aaron can come along and comment on this. :smiley:

I know there is a update date shown on those pages. But the update date can reflect two things: The page content for that plug-in was updated or the plug-in itself was updated. So when a recent update date is shown I am not always sure what has been updated. I then have to login to my installation to find which version of the plug-in I have installed.

What I am suggesting is that when the actual plug-in or theme is updated that a date is placed next to the version number. This would make it less confusing for members as I have seen a few threads started enquiring about what actually has been updated.
